I'm starting to get bothered by the fact that all I do is play limit. After reading PE2, I really feel that I should be learning to play NL. Mason says that the edge for a good player is much greater in that game. Now all I have to do is become a good player.

It's not difficult at all at that level. -d |

I'm really quite clueless as to how to play the game properly. |

I'd advise you to play pretty tight, if you get that crazy aggressive, but I think a good limit player would have to hit some really bad cards or be really really inappropriately aggressive to lose $100 in 1000 hands. -d |

[/ QUOTE ] When I say really aggressive, I'm talking about the situation I spelled out in another reply in this thread about hitting TPTK with AK on a raggy, rainbow flop and it's checked to me....I'm ready to throw a large portion (if not all) of my chips in. I'm not sure what's right. That last couple of times I messed around with it, I tried to just play it basically like a limit game, but then I'm sure I'm losing the edge. I guess the thing to learn is how much to put it and when to do it. |

If you are new to no limit, you should get Ciaffone and Reuben's Pot Limit and No Limit Poker book. It is excellent. One of the best poker books I've ever read.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree that this book is very useful. However, it is slightly scatterbrained and sometimes hard to find the flow. When you do find the points he's making though, it's very good. I do wish it were a little longer though; only a portion of the book is dedicated to hold'em. Overall I'm glad I bought it, but I would've loved to see more in it. Then there's SS/SS2 which obviously are great reads, but I don't think they are appropriate for Party up to at least 100/nl, haven't really ventured further. However, I played on Full Tilt for a while where the games are much tighter, and playing super-aggressive Doyle style worked very well for me there at 50/nl and 100/nl. |

I know what you mean. Part of my struggle with NL is (1) getting action with premium starting hands (drawing people in without letting too many in) and (2) hyper-bluffers (I have TPGK, do I call an all-in on the river?). I find these 2 to be much less of a problem in limit.
